The Jubilee Year of Mercy is over, but the practice of compassion should still be a constant in the life of every Catholic. In part 1 of our episode, Bishop Wall explains why mercy, as a concept and an action, is one of the driving forces behind the teachings of the Church.
Discussion points:
00:36 – We discuss some of Bishop Wall’s experiences at the Southwest Catholic Youth Conference and as a chaplain on a pilgrimage to California mission churches
08:01 – Why have Catholics been encouraged to make a pilgrimage – even locally – during the Year of Mercy? And why do we have Holy Doors?
09:30 – Why did Pope Francis designate “Mercy” as a theme?
13:30 – Are there any events that have stood out over the past year to Bishop Wall that particularly exemplify mercy?
Useful Resources:
